THE TORPEDO MYSTERY.

A Detailed Statement from Holgate, Telling All Ha Knows of the Explosion. TraleiMr Wingard Called on for an planatlon. Eii Boston Globe. Mr. George Holgate, who has been missing si aee the torpedo explosion wbich destroyed the life of Professor McClintock in the bar bor last week, has written an explanatory letter i concerning tbe affair, in which he says: 'Two months ago Mr. McClintock paid me at visit at theH below address, and stayed with me for more than a week. This was the first I had seen of him for more than two yeare, but had been in correspondence with him all the time. Shortly after tbe first visit he paid me a ae'eond one, and it was then that be first told me of the intended experiment with torpedoes, and aked me if I would not assist him, as be was engaged in other business which consumed the most of his time. I told him I would help him all I could, and he said if successful . I could retire from the paint business; that there was a large sum of money in it, etc., etc. I had the most implicit confidence in him in everything he said, especially in torpedo warfare, as he did such effective service with tbem in the late rebellion. I got the thing made as he or dered, and paid for it with money furnished by him. When everything was ready he ordered some of the things shipped to Bcs ton to a Professor Wingard, telling me aUo that be would explain to me his (the professor's) connection with tbe business at some future dav. In the meantime he bad prevailed upon me to close up my business and take bis word that there was more money in his invention than in painta,which I believed there would have been but for this unforeseen accident. Mr. McClintock had been in New York previous totals going to Boston, and it was from New York that I received the order to proceed to Boston and meet him at the Adams House on the 10th inst I left Philadelphia and on the follow ing morning met him in Boston; that day we went to Taf t's Hotel, and Mr. McClin tock made a few inquiries about lobster fishing, eta, and the depth of water, and he said it would be JUS THE PLACE rOK-TS CO K.VPBWM thli Tbe -next morning, Friday, when I came down stairs, tbe cierk handed me a note. It was from Mr. McClintock, asking me to take the cars and go to South Boston, where I would find boats to hire, to there hire a boat and a mm to sail it to Point Sbirley, and to make the best terms I could. I did go, and hired a boat, man and tender of Messrs. Huchiogs it Pry, or at least I made arrangements with tbem. in the afternoon oi thesimeaay Mr. McClintock and myself went again to the same parties, when we told them what we wanted and paid them for the boat, etc , for 24 hours. On the Saturday morniog we went to I'olnt Shirley, but round the water too rough, when Mr. McClintock ordered tbe man and boy to return with the boat, telling tbem that when we wanted tbem again one of us would let tbe:a know. Ua tbe Satur day afternoon we pid a visit to Messrs. Hulchings t Pryor and told tbem that if the weather was line we would want the boat again. They made answer tbat they didn't care how olten we wanted it. Well, on Sunday we went to the boat house, found the man (who afterward lost his life), and he went with ns to the residence of the firm, where Mr. McClintock made arrangements to have the boat and man leave at 3 or 4 a. m. on Monday morning, and meet ns at Point Shirly, saying tbat he expected he would have to give arctiri.; ior tne gout, ani u go be could do to. The j owner of the boat remarked tbat he was a I good Judge of faces and guessed that we had I money to our credit. .After a few pasting remarks we bade him good night and the man walked to the cars with ns. Mr. McClintock gave the man a silver piece and toid him to drink bis health, but to be sure not to get drunk and to be sure to be on hand in the morning, which he prom' ised to do. Monday morning we went to Point Shirley again, and oa tbe road going down Mr. McClintock informed me how toe experiment was to work. WE WERE TO SET THK TORPEDO with a rope attached, the rope to be buoyed; then another rope, leading irom the torpedo. was to be attached to our boat Professor Wingard was to come down in a steamboat with a rope draggtng therefrom, which Mr. McClintock was to attach to the rope on the torpedo; he then wss to come into toe sail boat and tbe professor was to steam away. In the meantime the vessel to be destroyed was to be towed down, the professor was to get the line under her, then by hauling in tbe rope was to drag the torpedo to her. and so ' blow her up. We found the boatman and boy at Point Shirley. The boy brought tbe tender on the beach, where Mr. McClintock gave him 50 cents to get his breakfast remarking that we would be back in a few hours. Mr. McClintock and myself got into the tender and rowed it to tne sail boat and set sail. In the meantime, Mr. McClintock had made arrangements' with the man in the boat to go with us. On tbe way Mr. McClintock became ill and I laughed at him. We sailed around a good deal, and finally came to anchor, and It was : then tbat I ' became ill through the unsteady motion of tbe boat and was laughed at in .turn by Mr. McClintock. I wanted Mr. McClintock not to go until I could go with him, but be said be could get along all right with his man to row bim, tbe man agreeing to do so, and in fact appearing eager to. Mr. McClintock told me to go and lie down, and I would feel better, etc.. by the time he sot back. He said that he knew what he was about. but I was too careful, to which I replied that we could not be too caret a i. xney had not been gone more than 1U minutes when I HEARD A TERRiriC EXPLOSION, ' and In looking in tbe direction my friend took could see notbing. l weighed anobor. set sail and went to the wreck, but could see nothing but a tew splinters. Jow. mind. this small steamboat with Professor Wingard on board was considerably nearer to it than I was, and was at the wreck the same time as myself. 1 called to him to tow me in, as I knew nothing of the boat eta, to which he paid no attention. How I reached land I do not know. It it enough to x reaenea it sateiy ana I ........ . . . u . I . jm . il . " ' " boy. When the reported conversation fol - lowed with few exceptions. He asked ma wbere the others were and If they had gone to Ljnn. l saia, "i guess so., I went then

to tbe United States Hotel andsaw Professor Wingard, and asked him why he didn't tow m in. H raid be did not hear me. He was very much excited, tbe same as mvself.

He said he had been to tbe Adams House for me, and they said I bad just gone out, or something to that effect. I then went to South Boston and told tbe owner ot the boat what had happened. After ward I returned to tbe hotel, went to bed, and in tbe morning I went and pawned my watcb to raise tome money to get home, so that I could tend word to Mr. McClintock s family, which I could not do thero, as I had no money, having lent Mr. McClintock all the money 1 bad on Hunday evening, he saying he would pey me back: on Monday. I went to New York and informed his friends there, at the same time writing to HutcbiDKS and l'ryor, telling tbem why I had not kept mv appointment with tbem, and finally came here and relieved mv own family's anxiety. Now, in justice to me and to Mr. McClintock. 1 'hink it is nothing more than right that Professor Wingard should make a statement, as be knows more about the working of it than I do. I expected to be in Boston before this time, but all the means I bate are in outstanding debts, which I find hard to collect, and until I do so I can not come on, although I do not know as it is necrssaiy, as I can not give any more infor mation on h subject than I have written you. Nevertheless lam willing to come at any time if my coming will do anv good. UEOB'iS HOU-ATl Enterprise Paint Works. No. t2.t North Six teenth street, Philadelphia. October 1. The Kparh of fubllc Plunder to be Kevlved. New York Bun. Despite the errors into which Mr. Thurnian has been led by ambition for the presi dency, his retirement from the benate will prove to be a serious loss to tbat nody and to tbe country at large. lis inuuence wis felt materially beyond the limits of tbe Democratic party, of which be still stand. even in defeat, the acknowledged senatorial leadrr. In the diccussion of nil questions outside of politics bis commanding ability. varied tesources aul purity ot character bave never failed to make an impression and fonietimes tbey have even conquered lb prejudices of bisopponenta. ills most remarkable recent s access was the legislation of tbe last Congress cjtu pelling the Pacilic railroads to account for tbeir debts to tbe Government after the suDreme court bad been captured into a de cision tbat the interest on the bonds hsued to aid their construction was not payable nntil the maturity of the loans. The great corporations were powerful enough in the Forty-fourth UODirress to tnrow nis nrst oni over: but be persisted, making some uoim porlant concessions to secure support and to meet the obi'ctions of Republican senators who were actmg as agents ana attorneys ior the roans on the floor. Hereupon Jav Gould. Huntington, and other representatives ot the union fact tic, the Central Pacific, and their eastern connec tions, backed by a most formidable lobby of both sexes, and an unlimited iuna to a raw udod. established themselves at Washing tou early in tbe session, when tbe Tburman bill was to be revivta. xney maae no con cealment of a purpose to defeat the measure, cost what it might, and they openly boas-ed of having votes enough pledged to make toe threat good. Continental mends ot senators. supposed to be beyond tbe reach ot corrup tion, were bought up like eneep at ine shambles: privacy was invaded by pimps and spies; temp'ation spread its teuuctive Detain every direction, and the corridors andealleriee swarmed with attractive wo men. chosen in the great cities, ana c.rnea tn tha cftnitol ta win votes. Tens of thousands of dollars were lavished on en tertainments, and presents were put where thev would do the most good, even in social circles not suspected oi being open to mat rect bribery. As the crisis approicnea, lists with the names of senators in the three categories ot certain ODDoeed and doubtful, were sho verified by dinerent agenctes, eacn acting secretly and unknown to tbe others. Tbe dav of the vote presented a spectacle tbe like of wbich had not been teen in congress since the day wben tbe House was called noon to pass lodgment on ihe credit mobi tier plunderers, and Mr. Blaine cat in tbe chair administering the rules to a mob of railroad kings and emissaries collected to save the jobbers from expulsion.

There are few families, we imagine, any where in which love is not abused as furnish ing license for impoliteness, sayn the Farm and Fireside. A husband, or father, or brother will speak harsh words to those he loves best and to those who love him the best, simply because the security of family pride keeps him from getting his bead broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely at times to his wife or sister than he would dare to any other female except to a low and vicious one. It is thus that tho nciiet aifections of a man s nature prove to be a weaker protection to a woman in the f uily circle than restraints in society, and that a woman is indebted for the kindest politeness of life to thoso not belonging to her own household. This ought not to be so. Tbe man who, because it will not be resented, inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon those of his hearthstone, is a very small coward and a very mean man.

Loa Oabart Shoots John Betes Jha Khober Hhot in the Ana Ul- Read and Gahart lylng. Clioton (Mo.) AdTorate.1 1 Lat Monday,' at Brownington, occurred' one of tlmse shocking tragedies that of late arc becoming too frequent in our Mate, ror sometime trouble' and iH-fitling has existed J between Lou" (Jiihurt, of Brownington, and 4 John Bole, of Clinton, grown out of some I inonoy tninfuotiuti. It soenw that Oaliart had gne Mt-urity for Boles on a note to A. M. Khoads, and hid to pay thn money, or t part of it mid this was th cause which led to ; the whole trHill. Aliont two weeks ago , iuhnrt met Boles nt Browuin-.rton and dmanded that lie should give liirn a note for th amount ha had . paid fr ' him.i This Boles , rvfuet-d to do, and Gtthart. who , . a very much larger and rtouter man than Hole, gv him a terrible ' beating, G:ihitrt was urriHd, but through the intervention of friends the matter was arr:ing-d and Role declined to proenite.. Thus it wa thought the itiatKT would end. But Cahart i a dpemtu fellow, uiiJ be did not intend to drop it y-C lsm-t Monday Messrs. SUobe and iMes went out toward Brownington to look at Mime cattle thev thought of buying. .lut at noon they eanie into ISrownmcton and stopped at the bote to gi-t their dinners. Oahsrt either t-aw them come in or learned of their prtt-ence aud de-rniinc-d to kill them. . lie wmt to the hard ware store, bought a piUL hud the dealer load it for hint and i-tartcd for the hotel on murder intent M r. Sliobe, whom a reporter of the Advocate, s-aw, says they were fitting at dinner, himself. Boles and two other men, and hHd not aWit half way through wben they heard Gahart's little boy at the gate exelaim: "Don't .hoot Un:le John, pa." tihart and Bole are brotiier-ni-law Oaharts wife being a sister of Boles. This t-tartled th.m all, uni jumping up from the table, thev saw Lon in the hall leading to the diningroom, with a pistol -in hand. Wiobe tepped touard him and sa:d: Low wo dotit want any ot tas- here. Slop it," He replied with au oath, and deIiherllv aiiiH-u hi pi-tnl at him and bred. the ball striking liiiu in ttm arm. ju-t above the elUiw fracturing tho bone and causing a sever; but not dangerous wound. He then began firing at Boles his first thot taking fatal effect, striking Iloles about two inches alove tlie tim!iili u and entering tbe ttomi":h. Boles received two other shots, but tbe fir.-t was tho cause of hi death, which took place Tuesday night about midnight At the liecinning of the affray Boles drew his own .pistol, aud got in three shot-, one of which struck tiahart in the arm and grazed his side and one in the neck, parsing clear thio igU and felling (iuhnrt to tho floor. It is probable that tiiis wound will kill (Jahart After the shooting Boles was able to walk abound, and seemed at first the least hurt, but tha shot he received in the stomach had settled his fate. Gahart had to be carried home. He is a very ttout man and way be able . to overcome his wounds, but if he does, it will probably 'only bo tj expiate his crime at the ha mis .. of the law. Bob, the victim of his .violence, was a peaceful quiet citizen ; a, man who quarreled with nobody, and hL untimely takingotf at the hands of a violent man is greatly regretted. He leaves a wife and three children, living in Clinton, to mourn for him. He' was buried at Bi-thlehem cemetery with Masonic honors yesterday. Orahart has been arrested, and if ho survives his wound j, will be fully prosecuted, tfhobe returned to his home after the shooting and lal his wound dressed and is doing well. Several splinters of bone were taken out of the wound. Since writing the above Gahart has been brought to Clinton and placed under arrest He is kept under guard at the .St Stephens hotel. A reporter of the Advocate called on him to get his statement of the affair. He says' he is sorry he did it; he " was not himself. He was broken up here after the war and went to Texas, whre he and his wife, by bard work, made someVrhoney which Le brought back with him. Jvhn had got a good deal of it fronl him, promising Id return H whenever he wanted it, but be never would pav it back; he had also become security for John on a note before he went to Texas which John told him was paid, but after ho came back he found it wa not; he tried to get John to do him right; he had seen hint and talked to him about it; had told himthatbehad five little children, wbile his children were all grown and able to make a living for themselves, but John would do nothing about it and would not treat him right rince he bad the pneumonia four years ago his head has troubled him a great deal and he would lose control of himself when he thought of these things. The dav the shootin:r occurred he bad no thought of seeing John; he bad intended to go to the circus that day, but gave it up in the mornintr. When be saw Shobe and John come into town he thought be would i home and so upstairs and co to t-leep; couldn't do it; he got frenzied; ho lost .control of his actions: he hardly knew what he was doing; he thought he "had drunk some whisky that day; he didn't mean to shoot SholK! it was an impulse. He had done nothing against him; tShobe had taken wdes with John, but he had nothing against him; he hope if lie had done Shobe an injury he would forgive him. Ko did not expect to get well. The condition in which he leaves his family is a great trouble to him. . He has five children, the oldest about 15 and th youngest a babe of 10 months. His wife and children, his sister and his brother are all with him. It is a sad siirht The husband and father lying wounded to death, probably, and under arrest for the murder of another, his wife's brother. His death will leave them orphaned and bereft, and his recovery will only plunge him into the toils of th law, with a possibly worse fate. There can be no heart so hard but what it is moved to pity, and it pities still when the other orphaned and bereft family U remembered. His recovery is doubtful. His body from the hips down" is paralyzed, and he has a great deal of fever; but on account of his great strength and stout constitution his recoveiy u possible. Don't Over-Indulge the Children in Katlns; f ad Drinking. ' Parents do not realize how that home life which magnifies the pleasures of the table, whose special treats for the children -habitually take th" form of something to; eat or drink, is laying the foundations on which it will be all too easy in later life to build the superstructure of narcotism and drunenkness. But the earlier a child learns that there are sweeter and higher satisfactions in tbe delight of melody and color, in reading the riddles of nature, in the fellowship of choico books, than in the gratification of the animal appetites, the sooner will he come into the highest meaning of life, the less will be the attractions of animal indulgence forever after ward. .. ... .
